Infosys Knowledge Management Solution
Infosys' solution aims at providing a knowledge repository creation (collating "structured" and "unstructured" information) and making it accessible both for internal customers (CSRs - through access to an updated knowledge portal) and external customers (maintaining the e-catalogue and providing a self-service portal which is enriched by the experiential knowledge of all the CSRs across the organization).
The knowledge repository will enable aerospace aftermarket supply chain organizations to:
- Increase self-service (and hence reduce reliability on individuals)
- Train fresh CSRs (and hence reduce the impact of the "Ageing Workforce Problem")
- Leverage Global Delivery Model due to de-skilling of the process (and reduce cost of operations, while making the request-to-response process highly scalable)
- Increase geographical market capitalization (Standardizing the process to drive the adaptability to change)
